Tornado on ground west of Oklahoma City

CNBC's Seema Mody reports on a tornado hitting the town of El Reno, just 40 miles West of Oklahoma City.

Dramatic television video showed a tornado on the ground west of Oklahoma City, about 30 miles from another Oklahoma community that suffered through a deadly twister last week.

Funnels of various sizes touched the ground Friday evening near El Reno, 25 miles west of downtown Oklahoma City, and at other times funnel clouds remained aloft. Cameras captured debris flying through the air, though radar indicated the storm was going through a mostly rural area south of Interstate 40.

The storm was headed toward Oklahoma City, which has more than a million people in the metro area.
